You gotta come to fresh market on Thursdays for the $5 bistro meals!!! (Beware they do sell out of some items.) They also have a hot plate meal where you can get a rotisserie chicken, two sides, and 6 rolls - feed 4-6 people. (Perfect amount for 3 people sized family in my opinion.). Depends on the portion sizes your family eats. Either way, great last minute meal ideas after a long day of work. Or for your lunch break! The workers are all really polite here, but the checkout line is not fast so make sure to get a basket or cart to make waiting in line easier. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is always clean in here, and they always have lots of fresh produce.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plus a convenient parking lot. read more

This has always been my 'go to' specialty market in NOLA. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is good, creative offerings and just a very pleasant, upscale place to shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff, especially at checkout, always seem to be friendly and upbeat, which is nice. The pre-prepared foods, snacks, drink choices, bakery and deli are typically better than most, sometimes better than the larger Whole Foods on Magazine St. here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And, they have an amazing floral section at the back entrance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's a convenient parking lot that wraps around the back and downtown side of the building, but the spaces can be tight, especially with a SUV size vehicle. This time I grabbed some coffee, bread, brownies, and wine. Unfortunately, I found many of the aisles and sections not stocked very well. The bakery section had very little product as did several other places. Just empty bins and shelves. Hmmmm? It is the beginning of Mardi Gras season so plenty of King Cake and specialty vodka. Nonetheless, I do like this store. Fun fact- this used to be the Bultman Funeral Home, in a classic building on the corner of St. Charles and Louisiana Streets. Yes, indeed, a mortuary as well. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]During Mardi Gras during the Wednesday parades, I was being harassed by a man on the sidewalk while I was on the steps of the fresh market[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]](being a frequent and recurring customer who did my writing at the tables). After being cursed out for four hours I threw one single mochi ice cream(and unfortunately missed) that I purchased in the store on top of several other items throughout the parade. Nopd got involved and an employee(curly hair/woman/a bunch of metal in her face) claimed I was "criminally trespassing" despite buying over $100 in groceries that the police ended up confiscating AFTER bashing my head into the wall(there were two ribeyes, a large bag of jelly beans, expensive cheese, olive oil, and garlic in those bags). While I was trying to reason with the employee and explain what happened and that I was being harassed. She refused to give me her name and that's when I was manhandled by NOPD and my head went straight into the wall.....The next night I got permission from Eric the GM to purchase groceries and be on the steps as a customer. She was in the store off the clock in booty shorts and tried to start an argument with me for the second time. I reported this to headquarters but never got a response. I am now escalating this to a local attorney as a civil rights case. Not only did they allow police brutality to happen at the store, I am also on the autism spectrum with ADHD and the way they handled this incident was absolutely discriminatory in that respect. For the record, this happened after I was complying with the first request to leave and I was getting my stuff together on the table in my bag. My charges were also dropped a few weeks ago as I was given court summons before I was transported to oschner Baptist for a head CT. I have been having recurring headaches that I need to see a neurologist about since this incident. read more

This upscale grocery was located a block and a half from our hotel. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was super clean and well organized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There were lots of international products. We walked by the deli, hot/cold prepared foods, and bakery areas. The foods looked delicious. This grocery was definitely better than Whole Foods. My wife and I only brought drinking water and diet Coke from this place. Prices were higher than the typical chain grocery stores. However, it was worth it because it was cheaper than going to the nearby gas station / convenient store. read more

Great store in my neighborhood with great staff. They pay attention to the needs of the locals and regulars. Their produce and seafood/meats are of high quality and when you get things on sale, it's great value! The pieces of cake are also amazing! The sushi is prepared fresh daily. And upstairs is a dining room and a wine room. You can eat your lunch up there, via the elevator. It's a great, clean and wonderful neighborhood grocery store! read more

New to New Orleans, was pleasantly surprised when I stopped at the Fresh Market! Right when I walked in, I was greeted by John and because I needed something quickly I asked for help.

Love this place and shop here occasionally although at a different location. We made it in to pick up some breakfast items before the store closed. It's in what appears to be a residential area but it's a good sized store and is fully stocked. Plenty of fresh meat, prepared foods, veggies and grocery. Staff was nice and we found what we were looking for. The exterior is super cute, very fitting old warm charm. On a tour the day after we visited, we learned that this was a funeral home for several years, so that explains the grand columns. Neat! read more

I used to get prepared food. Usually, I got the sushi or sometimes a sandwich, Then I started hearing about the health problems caused by seed oils. Fresh Market puts other chemicals in their food, which I do not want to ingest because I know they're not good for me. I quit going to Fresh Market unless I want cream or yogurt or eggs or butter or produce. read more

No one likes making groceries (yes, that's what we call in Louisiana), but when you've got to do it, you might as well enjoy it. And enjoy it you will, at this location of the Fresh Market. I've been in hundreds of food stores around the country and this one compares favorably with the best of the best. First, the space they occupy couldn't be any cooler. It's like shopping in your favorite bookstore, but with an unbelievable selection of gourmet foods and beverages. As you'd expect, the perimeter departments are the stars of the show, particularly produce, floral, meat, seafood and deli. The bakery and cheese departments are pretty good, but not world-class. The second floor wine and beer market is very cool. Awesome seating area up there too, but I don't see the store leadership taking full advantage of the space (wine tastings, cooking classes, etc.). The checkouts are usually friendly and efficient, but you don't tend to get much service anywhere else in the store, unless you specifically ask for it. The overall shopping experience is with the trip up St Charles via driving or streetcar. read more

Really great floral section, and fresh grab-n-go foods. The store is well lit and clean. Employees are helpful. I'm usually here in the morning so I can't speak to how busy it gets, but I find it well stocked. Parking is in the back. I like the patio area with its view of St. Charles. read more

This is a very nice grocery store. I didn't shop here, but I did get some food and ate it upstairs in the large seating area. They also have tables and chairs outside on their front porch. They also had nice public restrooms upstairs near the seating area. read more

I stopped here to get something healthy to eat I just finished a three hour dance rehearsal and I was hungry I wanted real food to sustain and nourish me. And not no fast food either that stuff makes my tummy upset I had never been here before but my other dancing friends highly recommended this place. Well let me tell you Soon as I walked into this establishment I liked it. The produce was fresh. The meat foul and fish. Fresh. I got my salad and was looking for something to top it off. I purchased cheese and tomatoes I also got some variety of olives Right now I am on a Ketogenic diet and I am abstaining from carbs and sugar so I can fit back into my costumes Wow whee they had sushi with NO RICE This was super nice for me. Exactly what I needed. So I bought three. And SPECIAL NOTE THEY CARRY DARK CHOCOLATE SWEETENED WITH STEVIA Lol Soon as I got to the car. I tried it. And it tasted really good. Even if I don't buy anything else. I will be buying my chocolate here read more

Cashier named MARY immediately greeted me with disdain, assumed I worked for insta cart, and then refused to bag my groceries. Male MANAGER acted as though this behavior is condoned at Fresh Market, blew me off, and made zero attempts to address my concerns after speaking directly with him. I was literally nothing but polite (probably too polite) throughout this entire encounter, Mary is obviously a great liability for this company, as well as the male manager on duty on 11/1/24. A shame. read more

Love this Fresh Market but been very concerned about the situation in the prepared food section. There is a dinosaur there pretty much everytime I visit. I'm not trying to be judgmental, but he has a bad attitude and I don't like the way he is always ogling my wife. The fact that nobody has addressed this issue is sort of outrageous. That said, big fan of their cheese selection and love that they always have a good variety of kombuchas. read more

Fresh Market is the bomb. Their bakery section is a work of art; the cakes and pastries are nothing short of exquisite, and everything tastes as good as it looks. Their coffee selection is awesome, and they sample them daily so you know what you're buying. They even have fancy decaf flavors. The olive bar is respectable, and they carry a very nice selection of sauces and soups. What I'm really in love with, though, are the bulk candies. Malt balls and jelly beans and chocolate coated everything! And did I mention the employees are super cool and will let you sample? The only reason they're not getting a solid five is their produce prices, which are on par with whole foods, possibly a little higher ($3 for a bell pepper, I don't think so!!). Still, favorite Uptown market by far. read more

Fresh Market occupies a niche, trying to be the most premium of food stores, and is one that even I as a bit of a foodie struggle to rationalize patronizing. However, this location delivers on its premise better than the suburban Metairie outlet. It looks the part, a fine historic building of some sort, and has the clean space and fast, easy, friendly checkout that these places seem to pride themselves on. However, in substance it also offers some nice food items. Their vegetables actually did look fresh here, and the ones I was interested in were competitively priced. I was also able to find a surprising number of other packaged foods and goodies. Not super cheap, even on sale, but if you want cheap you shouldn't be here. My major disappointment was that while a space on the upper level was devoted to beer and wine, their selection of specialty soft drinks, one of the main things I've visited Fresh Markets for, was lacking. If they had Cheerwine, I did not see it. That being said, it had enough food items and enough sales to justify the occasional stop. read more

The day before Thanksgiving, I went to three grocery stores looking for a whole chicken -- they were all sold out! (yes, I left it for the last minute, which is completely my fault). I called Fresh Market, and they quickly transferred me to the meat counter. The gentleman on the phone was so incredibly nice! He told me that they had only a handful of chickens left and offered to put one on hold for me. What good service! Fifteen minutes later, I showed up at his counter, and he handed me the neatly packaged chicken. It was a small act of kindness but it made my day! This Thanksgiving, I will be giving thanks to the lovely man at the meat counter! Thank you for your wonderful service and smile! Side note: they have an amazing selection of chocolate and jams! The store is also *very* clean and organized. Best looking produce in the city. Will be coming back to this store for sure! read more

This is the coolest grocery store! It's located on St Charles Ave, in the Garden District so all you have to do is grab your shopping bag and walk or take the streetcar to the place where an old funeral home became a new grocery store. . This Fresh Market is an adaptive reuse of a historic building, in a historic district, on a historic street. In 1875 it was originally the Bultman Funeral Home; In 2008 it was redevelopment into Borders bookstore; and in 2012 it was transformed into The Fresh Market. this transformative urban location has remained a New Orleans icon. read more

Here it is an "update". Fresh Market , st. Charles Ave is still fabulous and better than all the others. It's still fabulous! There's some new employees, but management stays the same. Lou is one, a great manager , a great guy and Bruce is the other,a very young and well rounded leader. Niecey and Taylor, and Mussett are some of the best staffers. The staff is ready to assist with anything you ask for. The produce is fantastic and fresh. The international condiments and the spirits are such a variety that there's something for everybody. I will elaborate on this more as soon as I get my pics in. read more

Nice ambience and some good organic items but the deli is a train wreck. Went to try and grab some quick lunch to go and all the foods are white and brown no color. Looking for vegan and gluten free and literally nothing I could eat so walked out. Come on Louisiana let's do better! read more

Update: I finally did get a reply from customer service who said they would be sending me a store credit but haven't actually received it. It's only been a few days so I think they will send it. She said she would let the web people know about the products on the site that were unavailable BUT THEY ARE STILL ON THERE! so, they still get a negative review. If you can't keep a current website you don't need to have shopping online. read more

Updating to include information on their King Cake offerings. I really appreciate a bakery that offers a small version and Fresh Market does...it's packaged in a pie plastic clamshell (if that gives you a size idea) and they do have a larger size too. The King Cake I sampled was moist and overly cinnamony (it was cinnamon filled...or plain to the natives) but with a good amount (not overwhelming amount of icing) and a lovely dusting of colored sugars. The baby is a bright green so that's a bit different and the container included purple, green & gold beads and "doubloons" which I thought was overkill. I like their selection of produce and teas. It's a well stocked store. I just wish their prepared food cases interested me more. read more

My first time there since I moved into the neighborhood earlier this week. Whole Foods pricing but quality is at best mediocre. Seafood (salmon almost crusted) looked good in raw form, but after cooking it the same night- it tasted somewhat spoiled and gave my family diarrhea. Tiramisu looked good but also fell beyond expectations upon tasting. Meatloaf also looked good but upon cooking as instructed, when I took it out after 50 minutes at 50 degrees, the meat was still undercooked. I stuck it on the frying pan and there was so much grease coming out fo the meatloaf. read more

Okay Fresh Market-I really do love you. I remember visiting New Orleans and passing this place by on the streetcar, always wondering what the heck was inside this brightly lit up mansion looking place. It's an adorable grocery store inside with anything you could possibly need. Their prices are a little insane and that's why I can only buy certain things here- like when their fruit is on sale, or bulk coffee, or their amazing bread (seriously some of the best bread I've ever had....). Most things are outrageously over priced. However, it's the closest grocery store to me and they really do carry anything you could need. Plus, their sales are pretty decent! AND! It never seems to be super busy, at least not when I go. Overall, a nice little market to shop at when you have some specific things to buy. read more

Lovely market. We went in for fruit. We came out with a lot more. Great place for people with allergies. Plenty of gluten free items to choose from. The place is pricey. Go for what you need and not anything you can get elsewhere. Fresh fruit and vegetables look amazing. read more

Person in the meat/prepared food area, young black woman with glasses has an attitude. First, I had to wait forever to get helped as she meddled with boxes or whatever she was doing, then proceeded to act aggressively impatient when I told her what I wanted, then she proceeded to cut meat and ignored me. I finally got helped by someone else. I usually like Fresh Market but her attitude soured me to the store. read more

I was working in the neighborhood and decided to take a walk on down to the Fresh Market. I'd only come to this location once before to buy some turmeric. (Random I know.) I grabbed some gelato this time around. Didn't get her name, but the woman serving the gelato behind the counter was awesome. She was funny and let me try a few (if not all) samples. I knew I couldn't go wrong with salted caramel. I realized then that I actually was missing out by avoiding pistachio flavored things for so long. For the price of 2.99 for two HEALTHY scoops, I couldn't beat it! read more

Can't go wrong shopping here. Fresh, clean, cool, comfortable, helpful staff. We didn't find sunglasses but enjoyed our time with Candace.

I absolutely love the ambiance at Fresh Market! There's always some jazzy music playing. Walking through an entrance full of flowers & potted plants can brighten up a gloomy day. It's a great place to find gourmet & specialty items. Going to a party & need a gift? They have boxes of specialty chocolates or grab a bottle of wine on the second floor & a bouquet of flowers. The have a great selection and wine gift bags as well. They also have beautiful & exquisite special occasion cards. It's a great place to grab lunch & sit out on their patio. The only thing I don't like is the effect on my wallet. But as they say, you get what you pay for. read more

Love the building this Fresh Market is housed in. It's just lovely. Love the selection of fresh and colorful flowers that make me sigh and smile from ear to ear as soon as I enter the lovely building. Love the selection of fresh, crisp and delicious produce, the fact that I can make three varieties of peanut butter here (doesn't get fresher than that), the to die for gorgeous desserts behind the dessert case, the prepared sandwiches, salads and wraps that are oh so good. Did I mention most of the second floor is filled with beer and wine? Love that, too. There is one thing I don't love here. The prices. But oh, I if I were wealthy. I don't think I'd shop anywhere else. read more

WHY DO THE EMPLOYEES HERE SEEM SO UNHAPPY? This may be a corporate problem. Sadly their 40-ish district manager died a few months ago. Established workers openly claim corporate stress. Where is management's response? I don't see it. The culture here has become progressively rude, unruly, and some actually bad-mouth superiors in front of customers. BUT THE PRODUCT IS EXCEPTIONAL Deviled egg potato salad, and tabasco spicy pimiento cheese dip. OMG y'all (nods to Angie) they are pre-sampling Superbowl snacks like these now. Both are amazing. And if microwaved for 10 seconds, their cream cheese king cake is a "must have" with a chicory coffee breakfast! read more
